Older version of FireFox had the capability of disabling ALL tab-related functions. Please bring this back ... or tell me how to disable tabs completely.

A lot of built-in about: protocol pages like about:addons and about:preferences open in a new tab and it might not be possible to prevent tabs opening completely. For links that specify a target window there is a setting in "Options/Preferences > General".

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to open Options/Preferences in a standalone window.
